They really should have some sort of area (maybe shroud or plywood) for bench shooters who use breaks. It was very hard to keep anything on the shooting table, or try and concentrate on a shot when you are trying to time the guy next to you and hoping he doesn't touch one off just as you begin your final squeeze.

I gave up my range membership because of all the he-men, women-hater cowboys who'd park their arse right next to me with their multiple guns they could not shoot properly without their blankety blank muzzle brakes and start blasting away,
even when there were many benches available. If there were no benches, then sit down next to me gladly, but when there are other benches available? C'mon. What I once counted as a relaxing day at the range would often end up with me totally PO'd and packing up my gear.
So, I sold most of my rifles and reloading gear and bought myself a nice shotgun, and an even nicer dog.
If you are shooting a 340 WBY or some big thumper, I get it. Not for a .308 I don't. Why not take the brake off and show courtesy? And yes, I wore earplugs and muffs, but the blast is as bad as the sound.
Can you tell how I feel about muzzle brakes at ranges???
Sorry for the rant boys. Morning started off bad and it just kept getting worse.
As for the OP's question, I try to avoid standing downrange of all guns.
